Do I smell? Does my toon perform a constant drool emote that I'm not aware of? Are people intimidated by me? I am a Vice Admiral but I'm pretty sure I've seen more of those running around. I'm having a hard time finding a fleet to join, and it's not that I haven't tried. I've posted on recruiting threads for the fleets I'm interested in. No replies. I've posted applications on fleet websites. No answer. I've sent in-game mails to find that peoples' mailboxes are full. I've sent private messages to people at the primary space docks asking if they're recruiting. No answer. The mails that do get answered won't answer my questions. No one will let me in their club!!
I'm 34 years old. I live in the eastern time zone. I play almost every night. I'm a lvl 50 Fed Engineer.
I'm just looking for an active fleet. I don't care how large or small as long as its active and their are enough people to group with. I haven't been in a group yet, and I really want to experience all the content STO has to offer. I don't care if your starbase is Tier 37 and your Dilithium mine gives free lobi crystals and skittles. I don't care if your starbase is held together by duct tape and pine resin. I don't care if your fleet leader is actually Snooki from Jersey Shore as long as its a fun and active fleet.
More about me if your awesome fleet I'm hoping to join thinks its relevant:
I'm a super cool dude. I have a vinyl record collection that is approaching 400+ records. I love Cohen Brothers movies, Alabama football, reading Jack Kerouac, Ken Kesey, playing the mandolin and piano. Highland brewery's Oatmeal Porter is the greatest beer on earth. I even have a girlfriend! A real one!
Like I said, I'm looking for an active fleet. I'd prefer one with a cool Trek related name. That's not that big a deal though. I just don't want to run around with "Stuart McCracken's Noob Destroyers" above my toon's head. TeamSpeak? I'll get it. RP? I'm up for it. Want me to demean myself with one of those new Voth dinosaurs? Negotiable. At this point I'll join the Obamacare fleet as long as there's no website requirements.
If y'all won't let me in your club, I'll start my own! That, or I'm telling my mom.
You mentioned that you want an active group and one that preferably has an authentic Star Trek sounding name.
Besides that are there any other considerations you have? The more information you can give us the more likely you are of being able to find a fleet that is right for you. It does sound that you are very keen to get involved in an active group but you really do have lots of choices so it makes sense to make as informed a decision as possible and to do that you need to be able to really evaluate your options by taking a good look at what they offer.
I'll give you some example questions that might be of use, feel free to use them or not.
What time of days or time of day do you tend to play?
Are you looking to get involved more in PvE or PvP content (Player vs Environment or Player vs Player?) or a mix of both?
Do you want a group that supports roleplaying?
Do you want a group that makes use of voicechat?
Ideally is there any specific age group you would like to play with?
Do you want a group that supports players to develop their game play skills?
As I say the more information you can provide the better chance you will have of finding a fleet that is just right for you. I realise that if you have been looking for some time without joy you might be tempted to join one of the first fleets that comes knocking but I really think you should take the time you need to make sure you are making the right choice for you.
I appreciate you taking the time to write all of that. I've actually done everything you suggested about 6 times already, which is why my op sounds over-simplified. I am interested in all content in STO; be it pvp, pve, rp, STF's, etc.
Please consider EDS. We are fun, friendly fleet with active players in different time zones. We prefer to group within fleet first and seek outside channels if necessary.
Hey there you should give us a try. We are Liberty Task Force (Fed) and Liberty Honor Guard (KDF) at www.libertytaskforce.com and we might be a perfect fleet for you. We aren't even seven months old yet but already half way to Tier V. We do PvE, PvP, and starting RP with the 26th Fleet and their Open Starbase Project.
We have a very active and lively website and forums, members from all over the world, and TeamSpeak as well. Feel free to give us a look, visit our page and see if you it. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me at Info@LibertyTaskForce.com and friend me in-game at Grayfox@GrayfoxJames take care and see you in space!

Yikes! I figured this would be on page 10 by now. My apologies. Yes I have found a fleet. I thank you all for your time and interest, and I mean that sincerely. I wish you all good gaming and fun times among the stars. Peace.
Tides of War is interested in what you have to offer. We are a mature minded fleet, part of a larger multi-gaming club at Tides of War. Don't let that put you off at all, it's a good group of folks. We do have an age limit of 18+, we use TeamSpeak3, and are mostly on during the US/Canadian EST.
We have a cross faction fleet on the KDF side, not as active as our Fed, but we all have alts there, you know the drill. We offer Inter-Fleet PvE/PvP on a regular basis, and are always looking for new fleets to practice with.

UFP, 12th Fleet and VKF would probably be worth taking a look at.
